ing OFF in the cash dividend per $1,000 OF insur
ance was tus-to the deferred distribution cot
surplus on tontine policies, and that the older
policies still received the usual amount OF
dividends. With this plausible statement still
ringing in ones ears, il is rather amusing
reading circular recently issued by Messrs.
j. o. II W. F. Bache, general agents OF the
Northwestern at Boston, Mass. Among other
things contained in il is an illustration of the
cash dividends paid on policy covering the
life of Mr.. VIM. Sickles of st. Johns, Mich.
The policy is tor $780, although TOR purposes
of comparison the agents have raised it to Il
500 600 basis. In order tnat we may not be ac-
cused of using policy that does not exist,
we reduce the figures to their actual amount,
by dividing the figures in the circular by 90.

WISE MEN,

1t is reported from Washington that
many government employees are resign
ing in order to enter civil life. They
are wise thus to strike out for themselves.
Office under the government is attractive
in some of its aspects, but it is neyerthe-
less fatal to the incumbent. He loses all
ambition, having little incentive to effort
or hope of promotion, and before very
long becomes mere machine. His sala-
ry is seldom more than sufficient for ev-
ery-day needs and when it happens that
political changes throw him out of his
place he must go into the world to work
for himself. He is older than when he
took office, but no better off, and finds it
harder to make headway. Practically
the time the average office-holder spends
in government employ is worse than
wasted. Ninety per cent. of the Repub-
lican officials in Vermont who were re-
moved by the Democratic administration

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SOLDIERS.

President Cleveland has written long
letter declining the invitation to attend
the national encampment of the Grand
Army at st. Louis next September. He
says that he remains away because he is
unwilling to mar the harmony of the oc-
which his presence might interfere with
the pleasure of those participating in the
gathering.
OF course the letter has brought out
deal of criticism, but it seems to those
disposed to consider it fairly to be man.
ly, straightforward document. \ good
many hard things were said by those who
claimed to represent the Grand Army
about the proposed visit of the President,
and it is difficult to see how he could help
feeling that he would be an unwelcome
guest. Under the circumstances the
course to follow was pretty clearly
marked out. and it was the course he has
taken. However, we do not believe the
rank and file of the Grand Army endorse
ton of the President.and we suspect that
if he had known as much about their SEN
timents as he ought he would have gone
to st. Louis. Naturally many of the vet
erans feel sore over the Presidents pen
sion policy, and many of them do not
hesitate to express their opinions. At
the same time the members of the organ

Two NOVEL CASES.

Two cases involving points that are sell
dom brought up in Vermont courts were
tried at the recent term in this county.
The first was State VS.. Nicholas DoOd-
law of Ferrisburgh. who was indicted for
illegal voting at the school meeting in
district No. Il of that town last March.
The election of officers was very close.
The prosecution of this respondent and
of McCray, who forfeited his bail, was
pressed by the defeated party, and they
are doubtless well pleased with the re-
suit. The revised laws. section 1880,
say "A person who, knowing that he
is not a qualified voter, gives in vote at
a town. village or school-district meeting
for an officer to be elected at such meet
ing. shall be fined not less than 500.
Apparently the statute puts premium
on ignorance; that is, on its face it seems
to say that the prosecution must show
that the respondent did know he was not
qualified when he voted. But the court
charged it would be sufficient to convict
if the Jury were satisfied that the respond
ent had no reasonable cause to believe
that he was a qualified voter. In other
er one is or is not qualified to vote is no
excuse for casting an illegal vote; one
must have reasonable cause to believe
that he is qualified or he votes at his per-
il. Obviously this is good doctrine.
The other curious case was that against
Mary Saunders of Vergennes, indicted
for manslaughter. The woman last win
ter gave two boys, aged and II years. a
loaded doubled-barreled shotgun to play
with. The caps had been removed and
before handing it to one of the boys the
respondent had snapped one lock with
out effect. Then she placed the weapon
in the hands of her stepson, who pulled
the other trigger, and that barrel went
off, fatally injuring neighbor's son. The
court said, in the charge, that while the
Yattaw boy was at Mrs. Saunders house
she was under legal obligation to see
negligence on her part, and if the jury
found upon the evidence (Which was un
disputed, and, indeed, was that of the re
spondent herself) that the taking by hel
of the gun from the bedroom and cock
ing both hammers and then giving it tC
the Saunders boy to play with-if they
found that these acts were acts that {
prudent person would not do, having re-
gard to the tender years of the children
and the character of the plaything, it wa;
a breach of such legal duty on her part
and the death of the Yattaw boy having
resulted therefrom, she was guilty oi
manslaughter.
Mrs. Saunders was only II years old
and is not overnight; and the jurymel
labored under the impression that if con
victed she must go to States prison fol
at least seven years, whereas she nigh
have been fined by the court in any
amount not exceeding $1,000. This ac
counts, undoubtedly, for the verdict o
not guilty. 1t will be seen that the doc
trine laid down by the court was sub
stantially the same as that applied in TIN
famous Buddenseik cases in New Yorl
city, where the court held that the re
spondent had a legal duty to build house
that wouldn't fall down and that if the,
did fall and killed any one the builde
was guilty of manslaughter.
